Disney Alters Itinerary for Magic’s Voyage

(Florida Today) – Disney Cruise Line has altered the itinerary of its current Disney Magic voyage, changing it to a Western Caribbean itinerary from an Eastern Caribbean itinerary to avoid the potential impact of Hurricane Philippe. "We're always prepared to change the itinerary to avoid severe weather, and we know our guests will enjoy the modified itinerary," said Rena Langley, a Disney Cruise Line spokeswoman. "Because of the projected path of Hurricane Philippe, we changed the itinerary." Disney officials also said they are very closely monitoring Tropical Storm Rita, which was expected to become a hurricane, but do not anticipate any changes in upcoming voyages of the Port Canaveral-based Disney Magic or the Disney Wonder because of that storm. The Disney Magic departed Saturday from Port Canaveral and is scheduled to return this Saturday.
